What does nanogray measure?

Nanogray (nGy) measures very small amounts of radiation absorbed dose, typically used in environmental and low-level radiation monitoring.

Where is the petagray unit used?

Petagray (PGy) is applied in modeling extremely large radiation doses in fields like astrophysics and high-energy physics, often theoretical in nature.

What is the conversion rate from nanogray to petagray?

One nanogray equals one times ten to the minus twenty-four petagray (1 nGy = 1e-24 PGy).
